My Views
I personally own a ProForm. While it is not this model I am happy with my ProForm treadmill. However, I want to know why this particular model would be so faulty. Many of the reviews rate this treadmill poorly.
The reviews rarely praise the treadmill, and many people report about a year from purchasing it parts break. This happens on many treadmills over time but usually not this early.
However people who had broken parts made a simple call to ProForm and they sent a replacement part.
While you will get pay for, if you plan on using a treadmill a lot and for a long time, perhaps you might look at another since this treadmill seems to break a bit more often than others.
However you shouldn't have a problem getting a replacement from ProForm, one review even stated getting free replacement parts from ProForm even after their warranty expired.
The ProForm 520 Treadmill is a low budget basic treadmill you shouldn't look at if you’re in the market. It has too many flaws to make it a good buy even for the price. The ProForm 520 Treadmill is discontinued and is rather hard to find if you still consider buying it. Return to Treadmills Return from ProForm 520 Treadmill to Homepage
